If anyone is looking for an alternative to discord, please check out revolt.chat The interface and user experience is the closest I've seen to discord (miles better than any Matrix client), has functioning voice chat (being rebuilt for more stability) custom server roles, and a functioning youtube music bot called Remix. They're doing awesome work over there!
Edit: Forgot to mention that it's also open-source and self-hostable (although not federated)
Jumping from one proprietary system to another isn't really an improvement.
Revolt isn't proprietary though???
At least you have control over your data and you and your friends can blame you for server crashes lol.
I didn't realize it was possible to host your own backend locally... I thought it was just hosting the webUI locally.
Yep, you can host it all yourself. Both UI and the server. Not sure how backwards compatible the "public" client is - I remember Rocket.chat Android client breaking by not updating the server on at least 2 occasions over the past 2 years.
Nah, I remember the FMHY crowd keeping their own instance up
mumble
Ventrillo and Teamspeak as well
